If we could get the receivers to run proper routes then franks wouldn’t look so bad. His short and high passes aren’t his fault. He’s throwing where the player should be.
Im kinda kidding but some seem to blame Franks when it could be the receivers running short or long routes. Maybe a combination of both.
I’ll still cheer for whoever coach Mullen’s feels is the best option. He has more experience than I do on QB play.

The problem (that most don't want to hear) is that he has very little touch. It's either a thousand miles per hour or a dirt ball, no in between.
It's hard when there's little touch and little chemistry. A lot of times it just doesn't seem like they're on the same page, but I don't think that the receivers are doing anything wrong necessarily.
Franks needs to stick to the short game, just like today, he had another very good showing when it was short passes, but those downfield passes are atrocious and way off target more often than not.

Franks, like any QB, needs to have the run game going strong and then the defense has LBers in close and most likely a safety also. It makes passing a lot easier.
I have watched Frank's body language and sometimes I can see the frustration after an incompletion...you will never hear about it of course..but WRs have run some wrong routes, especially TEs from my vantage point. He does throw hard but Jefferson and others have caught them...and Franks worse trait is early in games being too amped up. But compared to last year? Its a big improvement.

I actually don't think being amped up is his problem -- I think it's the opposite. I think he beats himself up too much and listens to criticism more than he should. He needs to learn how to tune that out. Perfectionists can't play Quarterback, and you can see that when he starts to have a bad game, rather than overcoming and forgetting he stews and, in Mullen's own words, pouts.
He has to learn to shut out the noise, because people will be especially ruthless when he shows them that it's working.
That's why when he's on social media or shushing his own crowd I get mad -- he's showing people how easy it is to get under his skin and make him unhappy, which these days is a death sentence. If he's this mentally feeble it is very unlikely that he will have a future at Quarterback.
Not to say that he will change, but he kind of proved yesterday that he's still way too immature for the position.
As for the receivers: They will always run the wrong routes, or not run the routes completely, or maybe run the route too short, but the problem is that if you're throwing as hard as he's throwing, it gives them almost no chance.
He made a great play yesterday where he rolled out, he was on the run (a forte of his) and he threw the *frick* out of the ball about a yard too high and a yard wide. That's the type of play where he needs to put an ounce of touch on it.
He still needs a lot of time to grow.
